Hi
I brought a new ASUS N73S Notebook last November.
The next day I tried to backup the Windows 7 64 bit operating system, using the ASUS built in software (loads automatically).

I made ready a number of DVD –R discs.
PROBLEM: The software would not ‘incrementally’ change and ask for the next disc, even after leaving it running for about an hour.

So I tried another disc – yet another coaster. And then another.
Today has been the first chance to try and sort this out, so I phoned ASUSin the UK and asked if they could provide a Recovery Disc.
Answer: No, we don’t supply those anymore.

MY PROBLEM
I need to try and make a copy of the Windows 7 OS – it is on a partition,but I do not know how to reach it.
This is because when I look in Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management I see three volumes and one volume
has NO LABEL
This is how it is set out;
Volume Layout Type File System Status

MY QUESTION
Is the RECOVERY PARTITION the partition without a label?
As you’ll see this is 25GB
Anyone know how I can backup the OS to a Flash Drive (Pen Drive) so that I can reinstall the OS
if my system crashes?
I’ve read that you can restore with the recovery partition, but that will not help if my system
crashes and I cannot get to the drive (I’ve been there before with XP).
